Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, May 13 (KCNA) -- A helicopter flew for patients of the damaged area in Ryongchon County. A lot of patients wounded in an unexpected accident at Ryongchon Railway Station have been carried to the North Phyongan Provincial People's Hospital, Sinuiju City People's Hospital No.1 and other medical institutions in the province. Doctors have hurled themselves into strained treatment for the recovery of the patients.
